Yes, I’m rather afraid of dogs but the only one who ever harmed me was a little fuzzy mop who lept up and nipped my leg. Tore my pants but didn’t break my skin thank goodness.
And the little old lady that owned the dog? She didn’t even apologize; she said I had brought it on myself by walking around behind her as she blocked the sidewalk gabbing with her friend.
A wonderful NYC moment to be sure. I was so flabbergasted I was speechless, for the one and only time in my life.
You should have punted the dog into the road.
Had a Yorkshire terrior and their teeth are a little more blunt and make better pets for the purpose of nips.
Smartest dog by far is the Papion. They seem to be brilliant for dogs.
